Rehabilitation that lasts, long after the stay is over
Face to face when necessary. Digital when useful. Youwell connects preparation, the stay itself, and follow-up in one digital patient pathway - whether it's a week-long clinic stay, post-surgical rehabilitation, or a more gradual, reactive pathway.
The rehabilitation field is changing
Pressure on rehabilitation services is growing: more patients need follow-up, while resources aren't growing at the same pace. Many organisations recognise the same symptoms - full waiting lists, a lot of time spent on manual intake administration, fragmented follow-up between stays and everyday life, and too little systematic documentation of actual effect.
At the same time, new tenders and regional agreements are placing increasingly clear demands on digital maturity - shorter, more flexible pathways, closer digital follow-up, and documented quality. Rehabilitation providers that don't digitalise risk falling behind in the competition for future contracts.
Digitalisation addresses this pain point directly: structured digital follow-up frees up time for the patients who need it most, systematic data collection makes it possible to document effect to both patients and commissioners, and one connected digital pathway enables the organisation to take on more patients without a matching increase in staffing.
Challenges in rehabilitation
Many rehabilitation providers recognise the same challenges:
- Fragmented follow-up between clinic stays and everyday life at home
- Time-consuming and manual intake process
- Difficult to document effect and progress over time
- Challenging to maintain motivation and training routines after discharge
- Limited capacity to follow up more patients at once
How Youwell creates value
Youwell makes it possible to connect the entire rehabilitation pathway digitally:
- Structured digital follow-up throughout the pathway - before, during, and after the stay
- Digital preparation and assessment that saves time at intake
- A complete calendar for planning and running all types of appointments
- Integration with electronic health record systems, so data isn't entered twice
- Systematic data collection that documents effect
- Tools that keep the patient engaged between touchpoints
- The ability to follow up more patients without compromising quality
One digital pathway, three phases
Whether it's a week-long clinic stay or a more gradual rehabilitation pathway, most pathways follow the same basic structure.
Preparation
Assessment of health complaints, digital questionnaires, and information before starting. The patient formulates their own treatment goals together with the clinician - even before the first in-person meeting.
At intake
Outpatient assessment, a clarifying conversation, and digital information mean the patient arrives well prepared.
Delivery
During the stay or treatment period itself, the platform supports structured modules, group-based elements, and daily self-reporting - closely linked to what's happening in the room, with a combined calendar that gives an overview of all appointments and sessions along the way.
During the stay
Structured modules and daily self-reporting connect what happens in the treatment room with the patient's own work between sessions, with full oversight of appointments and schedule in one calendar.
Follow-up
Digital home follow-up where clinicians track progress and results, and the patient continues working on goals, diaries, and self-training - with follow-up conversations scheduled in the same calendar, long after the stay has ended.
After the stay
The patient continues training at home with fixed routines, while the clinician tracks progress remotely, schedules follow-up conversations in the calendar, and steps in when needed.
Benefits across the whole value chain
For the patient
Greater knowledge, understanding, and mastery of their own health. The patient takes charge by documenting their own progress, gets quick clarifications through dialogue with the clinician, and experiences increased activity levels.
For the clinician
Reduced time spent on follow-up, secure dialogue with the patient, fast access to data, and better overview of pathways and patient groups.
For the organisation
Freed-up time for other tasks, reduced need for support staff, and data gathered in one place for research, professional development, and reporting.
For society
More people back in work, documented effect of treatment through systematic data capture, and more targeted use of healthcare funding.
Rehabilitation that delivers lasting results
Over 1,000 participants followed through a new digital follow-up system
Rehabilitation centre AiR has built a participant follow-up system on the Youwell platform that follows the participant from application, through the in-person stay, and into everyday life at home - with assessment, e-learning, and dialogue with the clinician all in one place.
"We experienced both the solution and the people as flexible, solution-oriented, and genuinely committed to helping solve a major societal challenge. Together with Youwell, we now have a flexible, intuitive, and engaging participant follow-up system in place, that follows the participant from the moment they get a place on the rehabilitation stay, through the whole stay, and onward once they get home."

One week at the clinic. One year of digital follow-up.
Helse i Hardanger combines a concentrated, multidisciplinary clinic stay with up to a year of digital home follow-up, and has used Youwell as the digital platform throughout the pathway since 2020. Experience from several hundred patients shows significant improvement in functional level and reduced fatigue.
"The concentrated change programme together with the Youwell solution gives the patient a better understanding of their own health and situation. The solution reduces the time spent following up patients, gives faster access to data, and a good overview of the patient pathway."
- Janiche Buanes Heltne, CEO, Helse i Hardanger
